Georgian Court University Reviews

I like being a member of the women’s lacrosse team at GCU. I also like the small class size and the caring professors. However, the advisors at GCU aren’t very good and have messed up my schedule multiple times. They never seem to be on the same page with the rest of their department. The nightlight at GCU is also lacking. There isn’t much to do and there isn’t Greek life either. If there is a party on campus, security comes within 5 minutes and shuts it down.

I loved the passion of each of my professors and the small class size. However I hated the career services, and counseling departments. I did not have the “college experience” and living on campus was far too expensive. In general tuition is insane and the only return investment I feel I received was the knowledge I gained. After graduation I was no further along in my career, quite the contrary.
Georgian Court University is an overall great school. I am currently a nursing student and so far my first semster here has been very enjoyable. My proffessors are very well spoken and only want me to succeed. It may not be the perfect school but it sure is gonna get me to where I need to be, happy to be a lion!
